Yuan Shu obtained Jiujiang County and Lujiang County, which was to seize the two counties north of the Yangtze River in Yangzhou, and then the difficulty was how to cross the Yangtze River to attack Wu County, Danyang County and Yuzhang County in the south of the Yangtze River!

In this regard, Yan Xiang suggested to Yuan Shu: "Now the lord has the two northern counties of Yangzhou, and now Jiujiang County has 200,000 troops, and Lujiang County also has an army of 50,000, so Danyang County must be down for a while!" ”

"That's true, it's just that the Yangtze River is a natural danger, if there is no good strategy, even if there are 200,000 troops, they can't quickly defeat Danyang Wujing!" Yuan Shu also said helplessly!

"A certain came for this matter, although the lord went south to the Yangtze River, but Danyang County directly bordered Jiujiang County and Lujiang County, and Danyang County only had 100,000 troops.

In this way, the lord can personally lead an army of 150,000 to attack Danyang from Jiujiang County, but there is no need to attack, only need to line up on the riverside, and send a large army to cut down wood and shipbuilding, and make a posture of preparing to cross the river;

Then he ordered Ji Ling, Liang Gang and Li Feng and other generals to return to Lujiang County with 15,000 horses and 50,000 troops, and find a suitable port to cross the river. Yan Xiang took Yuan Shu's words, and then suggested!

Yuan Shu was also very happy when he heard this, and then ordered someone to get the map, and then discussed with Yan Xiang for a long time, and finally, Yuan Shu summoned the generals and then issued an order:

In order to return to Lujiang County, Ji Ling led an army of 65,000 to return to Lujiang County, passed through Shu County and then to Xiang'an, and crossed the Yangtze River from Xiang'an County to prepare to attack the rear of Wu Jing, and at the same time assisted Ji Ling with Liang Gang and Li Feng as deputy generals!

And Yuan Shu personally led less than 150,000 troops, and at the same time falsely claimed 200,000 to the outside world, starting from Hefei, passing through Junyu and finally stationed in Liyang, preparing to build a ship from Niuzhu Ferry to cross the river to attack Shicheng, Danyang and other counties in Danyang County!

The order was issued, Yuan Shu and a group of generals led a large army to Danyang County, because Yuan Shu was not ready to lead all the 150,000 troops to cross the river, so he did not arrange any generals, but left Yuan Yin to govern Jiujiang County!

Once Yuan Shu's army was opened, there were scouts who quickly transmitted the news to Wu Jing, and Wu Jing learned that Yuan Shu led 200,000 troops to conquer Danyang County, so he was also extremely nervous, and then personally led 50,000 troops from Wanling to the north to guard against Yuan Shu!

On the third day after Wu Jing arrived at the Niuzhu ferry in Shicheng, Yuan Shu led the army to the other side of the Yangtze River, and as soon as the army arrived, in addition to camping, it was to collect ships and cut down trees and build ships along the Yangtze River!

In Wu Jing's camp, Wu Jinggao sat on the main seat, and said with a depressed face: "Why is this Yuan Shu, with 200,000 troops, but he simply crossed the river to fight with me, I am afraid that there are other reasons!" ”

"Don't worry, the lord must not be properly prepared for the warship, so he is preparing the tools to cross the river at the moment, and when it is ready, Yuan Shu will inevitably cross the river and fight with the lord.

The lord should prepare more arrows at the moment, and send the generals in the camp to train the soldiers as crossbowmen, so that when Yuan Shu's army crosses the river, the lord can greatly weaken Yuan Shu! ”

When Wu Jing heard this, his frowning brows eased slightly, and then he didn't say much, and arranged according to the general's suggestion!

Although Yuan Shu on the opposite side did not plan to directly cross the river to attack Wu Jing, the work of preparing to cross the river was done in a decent way, and in just twenty days, Yuan Shu had already carved hundreds of rafts and three warships!

And after this matter reached Wu Jingerzhong, Wu Jing estimated that Yuan Shu would need to cross the river in about a month, so he had no other worries except for urging grain and grass and training soldiers!

On this day, Wu Jing was discussing with his subordinates about the preparation of defensive materials such as arrows and fire oil that had been prepared, but he heard a commotion in the camp!

"Could it be that Yuan Shu has already led the army to attack?" Wu Jing asked nervously.

However, no one answered, and then the tent curtain was opened, and a bloodied scout staggered in.

And the scout only said: "Lord, Wanling... By... Surround... It's dangerous... At... Dawn... Evening! After that, he died!

Therefore, Wu Jing didn't get any more information, so he asked nervously: "Aren't you Zhong Xuan from Huiji County or the people of Yuzhang County who are here?" ”

None of the generals in the tent answered Wu Jing, and the entire camp tent was silent for a full cup of tea, Wu Jing opened his mouth and ordered, and the whole army immediately pulled out the camp and returned to Wanling to rescue Wanling!

Therefore, the entire Wu Jing army was evacuated in a hurry, and a lot of grain and grass were not taken away, and on the second day, Yuan Shu learned about Wu Jing's withdrawal from the scouts mixed in Wu Jing's military camp.

"My lord, it must be that General Ji Ling has successfully crossed the river and attacked Wujing County to govern Wanling, so that Wu Jing will lead the army to retreat in a hurry.

Now is the best time for the lord, the lord can order the army to cross the river, follow Wu Jing, and then attack Wu Jing with General Ji Ling, then Danyang County can win in one battle! After Yan Xiang heard about this, he suggested to Yuan Shu!

Yuan Shu nodded and agreed to Yan Xiang's suggestion, and then ordered Liang Ji to lead an army of 50,000 to garrison Jiujiang County. And he personally led an army of 90,000 to cross the river to attack Danyang County!

……

After Ji Ling led the troops from Hefei, he traveled day and night all the way, hiding his tracks, and finally arrived in Xiang'an, and then gathered scout information, and found that there was no Wu Jingjun stationed on the opposite side of the Xiang'an River, so he collected ships along the coast and quietly crossed the Yangtze River at night!

After crossing the Yangtze River, Ji Ling originally wanted to lead the army down the Yangtze River to attack the rear of Wu Jing's army according to the orders of Yan Xiang and Yuan Shu!

However, when he arrived at Chungu County, Danyang County, Ji Ling unexpectedly found that there were no soldiers guarding the huge county seat, only some officials to maintain law and order!

Therefore, a bold idea was formed in Ji Ling's mind, and then, Ji Ling ordered Li Feng to lead an army of 5,000 to garrison Chungu County, and asked the entire Chungu County to enter but not leave!

Then Ji Ling led an army of 60,000 to go out day and night, turned south, and went straight to Wanling City, the county of Danyang County!

And in order to deal with Yuan Shu, Wu Jing only left 10,000 defenders in the entire Wanling City, and these 10,000 defenders are still old and weak, so where is the opponent of Ji Ling's army!

And the scout who reported the news to Wu Jing was still on the first day of Ji Ling's attack on Wanling City, and Ji Ling deliberately released it, the purpose was to let Wu Jing return to the army!

The entire Wanling City, 10,000 old and weak, was attacked by 60,000 elites, but it only lasted for three days before it was broken by Ji Ling.

After entering the city, Ji Ling first wrote a battle report and passed it to Yuan Shu, and then ordered someone to guard Wu Jing and all the civil and military families under his command.

Having controlled the entire Wanling City, Ji Ling was not satisfied, but ordered Liang Gang to lead an army of 30,000 to garrison Wanling City, and whispered in his ear for a while!!

He himself personally led 15,000 cavalry and 15,000 foot soldiers from Wanling City, aiming for Shicheng!
